"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness--so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Scriptures are sufficient to inform the ignorant, to confute the erroneous, to reform the wicked, and to guide and direct, support and comfort the godly.
Here a lamb may wade and here an elephant may swim!
Here is milk for babes and meat for strong men!
Here is comfort for the afflicted, and support for the tempted, and ease for the troubled, and light for the clouded, and enlargement for the straitened .
Oh, how full of light, how full of life, how full of love, how full of sweetness, how full of goodness, how full of righteousness, how full of holiness is every chapter, and every verse in every chapter, yes, and every line in every verse!
No human writings are comparable to Scripture:
1. for antiquity
2. for rarity
3. for variety
4. for brevity
5. for plainness
6. for harmony
7. for verity
All which should greatly encourage Christians to a serious perusal of them. "Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long!" Psalm 119:97
- Thomas Brooks
The last words A. W. Pink ever said before he died: "The Scriptures explain themselves."
